CEO's Ugly Flash-Marriage Wife Hides So Many Identities
Chapter 151: Desire Without Love

Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Desire Without Love

Reserved men, meeting flamboyant women.

This man really never loses out.

Qiao Rui saw him flash a slight smile, then close the door and leave.

She tidied up a bit and breathed a sigh of relief internally.

Today, during her several verbal exchanges with Pei Liyan, she had found him very sharp, and his words seemed pointed as if he had suspicions.

But later, he said he wouldn’t investigate her, which somewhat surprised her.

Pei Liyan always brought her unexpected feelings.

She couldn’t quite see through what he really wanted to do anymore; it seemed like it was flirting just now.

She had thought he would take advantage of the situation tonight, but he had stopped just in time.

This was indeed beyond Qiao Rui’s expectations.

Just then, a sudden knock on the door sounded.

Qiao Rui was startled, got up, and went to open the door, thinking Pei Liyan had returned, only to find Song Muyu standing there.

Her face was still slightly swollen, her eyes redder, clearly showing signs of crying; her hair was seventy to eighty percent dry, and there were red and purple marks on her neck.

One glance at this scene made it clear what had happened.

"Beast!" Qiao Rui couldn’t help but curse Song Xun.

Was he blind?

Didn’t he see Muyu’s swollen face?

Just having escaped the jaws of danger, she was expected to tend to him?

It was infuriating.

Upon hearing this, Song Muyu instantly felt a bit embarrassed and softly called out, "Ruirui!"

Qiao Rui pulled her inside.

She closed the door and said to Song Muyu, "Is Song Xun even human? To demand your service in this condition?"

Song Muyu grew even more embarrassed.

Seeing her discomfort, Qiao Rui instantly realized her words might have been too much.

"Sorry, Muyu."

"Don’t apologize to me." Song Muyu turned to look at her. "I know you mean well. He wanted to investigate you, suspecting you saved me, and I had a fight with him."

Qiao Rui paused, then said, "Let him investigate if he wants to, it doesn’t matter. Don’t stress about this and compromise because of it."

"I don’t want to." Song Muyu immediately shook her head. "You’ve managed to get to this point through your own effort; I can’t let your hard work go to waste."

Qiao Rui saw how earnest she was and a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes.

"It’s fine; if he’s capable, let him investigate."

Song Muyu was taken aback, then her eyes suddenly lit up, looking at Qiao Rui in surprise and delight, "Did you already handle everything, wiping all traces clean?"

"It’s impossible to wipe every trace clean," Qiao Rui said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. "For instance, if you say something, it might easily be revealed."

"How could I possibly speak? I’d rather die than speak," Song Muyu immediately became anxious, asserting seriously, "I will absolutely not speak."

"Chen Haimin talks too, but since Qi Yun saved you, I plan to arrange for her to be your assistant. This way, Qi Yun is your person, and saving you is your affair."

Hearing this plan, Song Muyu instantly understood Qiao Rui’s deeper intentions.

"I understand," she said with a smile. "You want Song Xun and Pei Liyan to think that I saved myself."

Qiao Rui smiled without a word.

Song Muyu muttered in a low voice, "But I feel like Song Xun is unlikely to believe this; after all, he knows what I’m capable of."

Speaking of Song Xun, Qiao Rui suddenly remembered something Pei Liyan hinted at in his poem.

Does Song Xun see Muyu and immediately think about oppressing her?

"Muyu, does Song Xun want to bully you upon seeing you?" Qiao Rui suddenly asked with a smile.

Song Muyu was stunned, her face instantly turned red, and the flush spread to her ears. Then, she awkwardly nodded a little.

"Ever since he returned from Xinyang, he has frequently been touchy with me, as if he can’t help but take advantage," she said.

"A man’s desire for a woman reveals a lot," Qiao Rui remarked. "Think about it carefully."

Song Muyu was taken aback and didn’t quite understand what Qiao Rui meant.

After being dazed for several seconds, she finally realized, and spoke with conviction, "He only has desire for me, not love."

Seeing how serious she was, Qiao Rui didn’t know what to say, as she herself didn’t understand so-called love.

Not at all.

Both of them fell silent.

After speaking with her for a while, Song Muyu then left.

After Song Muyu had left, Song Xun unexpectedly came knocking on the door.

She opened the door and was a bit surprised to see Song Xun.

So, she crossed her arms in front of her chest, leaned on the door frame, and coolly asked, "Mr. Song, isn’t it inappropriate for you to be knocking on my door at such a late hour?"

"May I have a word with you?" Song Xun countered.

Qiao Rui looked at him; the man had already changed his clothes, wearing a stylish and imposing set of house clothes.

Qiao Rui said, "Just speak here."

Song Xun squinted his eyes slightly and glanced back at Song Muyu’s room door.

Qiao Rui, seeing this, realized that this man was afraid of Song Muyu overhearing.

She coldly curved her red lips, still not planning to let Song Xun enter.

Song Xun could see her hostility toward him.

He sneered coldly and said, "Miss Rui, please cooperate a little."

The moment he finished speaking, he had already stretched out his hand and pushed Qiao Rui into the room, following her in and shutting the door behind him.

Qiao Rui’s elegant eyebrows furrowed tightly as she looked at Song Xun and said, "Is this how the Song Family treats its guests?"

"Miss Rui, please take Song Muyu back to Qingcheng," Song Xun suddenly said earnestly.

He simply ignored Qiao Rui’s comment.

Qiao Rui looked at his very serious expression, her eyes also grew stern as she coldly said, "Muyu is an independent individual; where she wants to go is her freedom, and others have no right to interfere."

"I owe you a favor," Song Xun said in a deep voice again.

Qiao Rui glanced at him, sizing up Song Xun before finally speaking, "Mr. Song, do you still want to go through with the arranged marriage with the Shen Family?"

Song Xun knew she was assessing him, and under normal circumstances, being scrutinized by a woman like this, he would have responded with a sharp remark.

But at this moment, he wasn’t in the mood.

Song Xun had a premonition, although he didn’t know exactly what background this girl had, his instincts told him she was extraordinary.

"Is it so difficult to answer my question?" Qiao Rui asked again when he didn’t respond.

Song Xun nodded, "Yes, the engagement will proceed as scheduled."

He had just received a call from his father, who had rebuked him, and given the situation with Muyu, the old man was very angry and had made it clear that the marriage alliance with the Shen Family would not change.

"Fine, I will take Muyu away," Qiao Rui tugged at her lips, "but not because of your request, Mr. Song, but because Muyu is my friend."

Song Xun looked at the harshness in Qiao Rui’s eyes, her presence too imposing.

A girl possessing such an overwhelming aura truly was peculiar.

"Who exactly are you?" Song Xun blurted out.

Qiao Rui replied, "You could always check, isn’t that what you wanted to do?"

Seeing her attitude, Song Xun said, "The hospitality of the Song Family is not about prying into the privacy of guests, after all, it does me no good."
